Home for the rest of the year! “A fine beer may be judged with only one sip, but it’s better to be thoroughly sure.” -Czech Proverb Fort Collins Our first Colorado stop was Fort Collins…where we did a whole lotta beer drinkin’. We love good beer. We love good beer so much. And …

Grand Teton National Park: We got into our campground around 10PM on a Saturday. It was nothing but darkness and a thick blanket of stars. We fumbled our way around in the dark trying to get set up not knowing which way was was north or south. The lady that took …

Yellowstone, the first national park in the world. Home to one of the largest high-altitude lakes in North America. Acres upon acres of half of the world’s smoking and bubbling geothermal features.

Asheville – or as some of the locals we met refer to it: “Little San Francisco” – did not disappoint. It was a perfectly quirky dot on the map for our maiden voyage. Here is a a quick & dirty synopsis of this funky mountain town: A huge chalk wall lines …

A quick background on our RV, Lady Luck: She was a steal. A 2003 with only 13K miles. She was the exact size and type we wanted at 1/3 of the cost we were intending to pay. Combine the fact that she is part of the Leprechaun series of Coachmen …
